Many are said to be badly injured since the weekend rain which started Saturday 14th.
The Calabar Highways is now most dangerous and dreadful as the rainy days past on. With many bad incident happening and a closed road, what’s the remedy since the government is now looking with blind eye.
It’s always flooding around the city of Calabar whenever it rains, and the citizens are used to it. Although it only takes few minutes to hours for the town to be cleared off. But to this area, the Lemna Junction in between the Technical Junction (Destination) and the Army Junction (Calabar gate) is something that the people had never experienced.
The road we all know is the only main road to the city, whether you are traveling from any part of the country or the world. Now it’s posing danger to the road drivers and even the pedestrian. Little rain will flood the area for days leaving people stocked both sides of the road trying to get to their destination. But what’s the government doing about it?
The Governor of the state yesterday was passing through the road but only to chase people out the way from the Old Odukpani road, Ikot Omin which is now the one and only road to the main town. I wonder if he isn’t ashamed of himself, for this problem has been since they closed the U-turn and built a high center pavement at the area without any clear drainage system. For the situation is getting worst each and every day with any hope for a remedy.
If you’re reading this whether affected or not but in position to help. Please the people are begging and suffering, help them before people keep dying or flooded away. Thanks.
